a waY to giVe baCK, For Parents of Twins Born Early “ ... even with the added stress of an early delivery, they took ” exceptional care of us. 16 2011 Report to the Community | Mercy & Unity hospitals Foundation When Amy Thompson-Nauman and Jess Nauman learned that they were expecting twins, they knew exactly where they would deliver their babies: Unity Hospital. The parents of a two-year-old girl, Quinn, were so pleased with the care they received at Unity Hospital when she was born; the decision was an easy one. “Unity is the only place we wanted to have the babies,” said Amy. “Our nurse in the delivery room with Quinn was incredible and we received the best care after her birth,” she added. The Family Birth Center at Unity Hospital is designed with family in mind. Spacious labor and delivery suites ensure that new mothers and their family members receive the best medical care, in a comfortable, safe and reassuring environment. That reassurance was exactly what drew Amy, a research scientist at Medtronic, and Jess, a stay-at-home mother, to choose Unity again. When Amy was 32 weeks pregnant, she was put on bed rest after experiencing signs of premature labor. “I wasn’t emotionally prepared to have the girls early,” she said. Two weeks later, their twins were born. “No parent wants to see anything but a perfect situation for their children, but even with the added stress of an early delivery, they took exceptional care of us.” Their twin girls Delaney and Rylen were born at 34 weeks, both healthy and each weighing in at an identical 4 pounds and 13 ounces. Although they live in Coon Rapids, a short drive to Unity, the logistics of caring for a two-year-old and newborns in a Special Care Nursery could be overwhelming.
